‘Conor Oberst’ is not, as some would have you believe (I’m looking at you, Metro newspaper) the debut solo album from, well, Conor Oberst. It’s the fourth one, and that’s not even counting the work he’s done with Bright Eyes, Commander Venus, Desaparacidos and Park Avenue (of which I count a combined fourteen albums, but feel free to correct me in the comments). It seems, in fact, that the number one thing that ‘Conor Oberst’ wants you to know about Conor Oberst (see the d... MORE

I was going to post footage of Conor Oberst and his new outfit the Mystic Valley Band performing a new track on Leno the other night, but then the folks at Stereogum tipped me off to this new official video for another track off the Omaha dude's new sefl-titled album. Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, "Souled Out!!!" And in case you missed Oberst on Leno the other night, here he is playing "Get Well Cards" (which is my favorite so far off the new o... MORE

The first lines from Jack Kerouac's On The Road can be seen as a fitting analogy for the creative life of Conor Oberst as a traveling troubadour in search of truth and meaning within the journey of song. I know that Dean Moriarty is the one who led Sal across North Amer... MORE

For a most excellent review you should read this... http://mog.com/John_Madden/blog_post/176443 I guess to some Conor Oberst is am acquired taste, he has moments of stunning brilliance & moments of precious, cloying inanities. His cds, especially his earlier ones, could be frustrating & exhilerating, often in the same piece. I'm Wide Awake Its Morning and it's companion work Digital Ash In A Digital Urn presented the work of a maturing, frightened artist, battered,... MORE

Conor Oberst delivers his first album free of the Bright Eyes name since 2004 on Merge Records, and not surprisingly it is of the same quality as any of those releases from his well known moniker. This time working without his long time collaborator Mike Mogis and instead with his assembled Mystic Valley Band (which includes Taylor Hollingsworth) in a quiet part of Mexico. Where he reported his favorite place to be was in a hammock as the sun came up. In that way, the cov... MORE

Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes played at the awesome 249-capacity rock club in San Francisco, Bottom of the Hill. He and his Mystic River Band were incredible. You know how rare it is to be able to hear and understand every word at a rock show? Then consider that this guy writes words that are sometimes poignant, sometimes pithy, always spot-on descriptive, and that invariably make people in the audience (regardless of gender) cry. And on most songs the band was rockin... MORE

We all (us hardcore bright eyes fans) knew it was coming, since that leak of a solo show by Conor Oberst showed up earlier this year. But now it's confirmed: Conor Oberst is releasing his first solo album since the early days of Water and Here's To Special Treatment when he was just a kid. The album will be self-titled and surprisingly not on Saddle Creek records. It will feature the Mystic Valley Band rather than his usual Bright Eyes crew. The big date is the 4th of Au... MORE

I have heard most of the forthcoming self titled Conor Oberst solo album, slated for an August release, and I am really liking what I've heard. Does it sound drastically different from anything Bright Eyes has ever done? No. Is that a bad thing? Not if you are a Bright Eyes fan, like I am. I am really digging this tune, reminds me a lot lyrically of Dylan.
